Weatherby Vanguard .308 200 yards

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3890881&forum_id=2#35385388)

So when I shoot my 5.56 at 50 meters and zero my red dot sight for that distance, the bullet is always on the upwards trajectory at that distance, and should similarly zero somewhere around 200 meters without adjusting the optic. Also learned about maximum effective point blank range depending on target size.

for a .308 what is the near-zero to have a far-zero of 200 meters? Where do you zero your optic?

EDIT: looking at a .308 ballistics chart, seems the .223 has a flatter trajectory generally.

The 50-200 zero for ARs comes from 3 gun competitions because they can shoot accurately for up close targets (50 yards) and out to 200 yards without having to fiddle with doping their scope or making turret adjustments on the fly.

Most people zero their hunting rifles in at 200 yards because it just means that you'll hit 2" higher at 100 yards and only a few inches lower at 300 yards, so it takes a lot of the guessing game out of shots within 300 yards, which accounts for probably 90% of all game shots in North America.

Basically you can aim point blank and your bullet will hit within 2.5 inches high or low at any distance out too 300 yards, which will give you a clean kill if you aim straight.

But it all depends on the shooter and what they're want to do. For instance, on my 308 hunting rifle, I've got it zerod in at 100 because I only hunt big woods with it where the furthest shot I'll take 99% of the time is within 75 yards.

Any time I'm gonna be shooting well past 100 yards, I'll just opt for my 7mm which I have zeroed in at 200

My AR wasn’t nearly as impressive, but that’s not really surprising.

The .308 has a 6-24X Vortex Viper HST

Edit: Now that I think about it, some of the AR shots were with my arm only (no rest).

Thats why my force recon marine bro tells me they always zeroed in their red dots at 50 yards.

Another reason I like the EO Tech is that the very bottom of the circle reticule is where you aim for close in, like 5 yards stff.

you cop a shotgun yet for skeet/trap?

The best thing you can do is IPSC style drills or snap-turn drills but good luck finding a range that allows em.

I started doing IPSC matches but I wasn’t impressed. I showed up with my carry gun and these douches looked like storm troopers with all the gear they had. Wasn’t practical at all. Also, I really want to get into moving targets. That’s practical.

Something like this but there has got to be a cheaper way to do it.

And yep, best thing you can be doing short of firing while moving (which is all but a felony at an actual range, you basically need a whole desert or a few acres to practice realistic shooting.)
